bsaElls-EosS

The Wheeling boys played another
great game of ball yesterday snd downed
their opponents, the Akrons, by a score OF
5 to 3. The contest was spirited and in
teresting from first to last, and afforded
great enjoyment to the i've hundred spec
tators assembled. The features Of the
game was the good hitting Of Bel, Crogan
and Mitchell and the great ~base-running
OF our big Businessman. Besides pound
ing Irwin for three hits out Of four times
at hat, he stole second and third every time
he reached first, setting the erowd fairly
wild with delight by his clever
running. Clark completely retrieved his
failure Of Monday, and after the fourth
pitched a beautiful game, only n scratch
hit Icing made off his delivery in the last
five innings. McAllenney handled Twins
speedy curves in a very plucky manner,
making several good stops Of wide balls
Both clubs seemed TO be in for 4 lark,
and much amusement was afforded by the
continual monkeying business INDUCED IN.
Westlake and Morton contributed largely
to this by their funny antics between sec
ond and third in the seventh inning. Westy
was playing way of o. second and Morton
kept trying his best to get
between him and the base
but no matter where he went, Carney kept
right behind him and initiated every mo
ton to life. Lersch made a great steal in
from right to catch him mapping, but
westlake had his eyes open and got back
in time. Clark's coaching also created
much merriment, his yell being plainly
heard on this side of the river. No game
on the grounds this season has been more
thoroughly enjoyable and those who didn't
60 over missed q fine game and a good time.
The same clubs will play to-day. Mallory
will pitch for the home team. The fall
score YESTERDAY is As follows:

A gasoline lamp exploded in the refresh

o young lady held it in her hands. She
dropped it on the floor in the kitchen, and
a blaze ensued that brought the large
crowd from the dancing platform. The ex-
element was quite great for a time, and it
looked as if the buildings were doomed,
but the water facilities being good the
flames were soon extinguished, the damage
amounting to only some sl5 or $40. One
of the ladies in the dancing pavilion be-
came so alarmed that she tainted, and all
efforts to revive her were Gruitless. She was
brought in on the 8 o'clock motor, but did
not revive until the city was almost
